Dakota disliked ‘precocious’ tag

Dakota Fanning says she hated being called ‘precocious’ when she was a child star. Dakota, who has starred in over 35 movies and TV shows since she was seven, has always been mature and hated being accused of ‘acting’ older. ‘I have this whole thing with that word 'precocious'. I guess it's not a negative, but when I was younger, especially, I was labelled that, and I was just being who I was! Do you know what I mean? Like, 'Oh you're so mature,' when I'm just being normal,’ contactmusic.com quoted the 20-year-old.
